Why is weed so much better in california than anywhere else?

[hippypicker]

I'm talking about southern california by the way... Lol! Jk! Why is it better than other states? I keep hearing it's the best. If we're buying the same strains as other states, how is it better? Would you say it's better than amsterdam weed? This is probably in the wrong section... Lol.

Haha that's funny I'm positive Amsterdam has the best weed out there and as for California how bout you come up to Canada and try some of our B.C. Bud, it'll knock you on your ass! California has a really long growing season and therefore grows have more time to veg and flower. The reason B.C. has such good weed is because of the Okanagan Valley, which also has a long growing season and hot summers. I'm surprised how well marijuanna grows in Alberta because we are known for heavy weather swings and dry hot summers but with a little watering and care my Jock Horrors are thriving.

ya Cali has sooo many medical growers these days that given they don't have to hide and can take their time as much as they want that might make the weed taste better. I was surprised to hear how much they charge for medical weed tho in the states! someone said between $300-400 an ounce. Must be really good stuff. I get an ounce for $200.

man if they're selling medical weed that high in Cali, if it became legal in Canada (well it is but only for cancer people) the tax on it would be huuuuuuge! i'm guessing close to $500 an ounce heh

$300-$400 an ounce are just club prices. Hommie prices are usually $150-250

To each their own. It's like saying that BC Bud (Although very good) is TOP Level. Certain harvests coming out of BC may yield the BEST (But that does not mean that all BC Bud is top notch).
The same applies to Cali; assuming otherwise is naive. Sure, with the Dispensaries setup; more and more camps are being setup. Who's to say where the originated from...

It's all hearsay; due to the nature of this culture. Like the adamant stances of HPS vs LED, the same applies to BC VS Cali VS yours or mine.. Everyone's got an opinion; to interpret an individuals "opinion" as fact is pretty pathetic. Including my "Opinion".

Unless You've visited each state/Province/Country... Really, explain to me how any individual outside of hearsay can attest to all these variances.

Funny thing that I observe; one of the Top reasons you know you Grow Herb; #4: You know Who makes "ELITE" Herb Elite (i.e. I know where the best Herb is from....Plattsburgh NY.. LMFAO! )
The thing is, perhaps that is in fact the case.. That the BEST Herb comes from Plattsburgh in New York State is very plausible. Perhaps it's then moved to California where it's Sold as Cali Bud.

?? Who knows... No one. But 90% of everyone Thinks they do.

I'm glad someone has some common sense.

i dont' think Cali's weed is necessarily so much better than everywhere else. I think what it is, is that anywhere there is really good weed, it finds it's way to Cali. cone vs. seed.... well duh, who wouldn't say clone. you already know what you are getting. but don't forget, somewhere, some way, somehow, every clone only strain came from one of those millions of seeds that float around the planet. someone crossed 2 plants and popped a seed and were blessed with an amazing pheno that they wanted to preserve in its truest form... a clone! so i think the clone only guys should encourage the curious guys that want to grow from seed. every seed popped has a chance to become the next popular "clone only" strain.

More common sense, I love it.

From smoking the weed from friends and the shops out there. Again I'm not saying there isn't straight dank in Cali, I'm saying there is a big commercial side also. Tell me a big percentage isn't hydro grown for profit of the same played out overhyped strains. To think California has the best weed is just naive, it's like the French thinking they have the best wine, sure they have great wine but it has been proven that great wine can be produced in many countries. So far all of the people who are from Cali seem to be snobs about weed when the people I know who moved there just laugh at the natives who think that Cali has the best weed. It's all relative. Can you honestly say Cali has the best weed, have you smoked every strain and pheno from every part of the US? No, so you honestly can't say Cali has the best because your limited to your own personal experiences.

I'm sorry I didnt read that paragraph, but to think that the majority of the herb grown here is hydro grown just shows your ignorance. Do you really think that there are mass hydro grows all around the state that grow MORE than the outdoor soil grows in Northern California alone? Give me a break I bet you one county up here grows more soil plants than all the hydro plants in the whole state.

Rolling Stone had a good article on the legalization initiative in California. Do you guys in California think it will pass? I heard the guys growing it in Humboldt county like the law the way it is now because they are making good money as it is. The part that is most intriguing is how it will be legal to grow your own in a 25 foot square area, which is 5' X 5'.

^ this^

The overwhelming majority of California bud is outdoor.

Hahaha... This thread has been a good read.

I'm an EX Californian.... And I'm growing the best weed in the world. Somewhere other than in California.
Know why it's the best? Because I'm growing it.
I did learn how to grow while I was living there, however.... Hmmmm.

I agree there is great weed grown in Cali, especially in Nor Cal but lets look at this. Outdoor herb is harvested once a year(or during one harvest window). Indoor hydro operations are set up to harvest as often as every week. So do I think more hydro is produced there? Yes. Not all of the weed in Cali is grown in Nor Cal where the good growing climate is. There is great weed there but there is a lot of average quality nugs grown by greedy assholes who just want money. Your about to see even more hydro if this legalization bill gets passed because of the marijuana corporations. These corporations plan on doing large scale hydro grows solely because of the yield and profitability. I was talking to one of these companies about working for them but I found out they were only going to grow with aeroponics and thats just not my style.

With input like that it makes it hard to argue, you should write a book.

Damn dude, save something for the sequel. You don't want to give all of your insight away.

I'm glad your smoking a cross of two average quality strains, good for you.

whats there to argue??? u not from Cali so anyone saying we got the best weed is irrelevant to you...and if thats how u feel then why argue?...lol it's funny to me yall going back and forth with this... in my opinion we do have the best chronic hands down.. thats my opinion wich dont mean nothing to you

 

[LAX Skunky BwS]

with that said.. im done here.. yall can go back to your back and forth's..

Thats exactly the ignorance we're arguing about. Didn't you just start growing a year ago. While I might not live there I've spent a considerable amount of time there and smoke a lot of weed from Cali by way of my peeps. Have you even been outside of California to have an informed opinion?

i started growing for the first time in Aug. of "08" and learnd from growers from here.. that dont grow in HYDRO..im not saying im a top notch grower(Yet) still got lots to learn and in the process of doing my own breeding .. but the top notch growers i know here... lol hands down!!!

 

[stonedmetalhead1]

Where have you been to compare quality? I've lived all over the country, I've travelled all over the world, and I've seen all kinds of herb. Let me tell you something, there is dank everywhere.

 

[LAX Skunky BwS]

all i have ever smoked was Cali grown weed so i dont care what the next state has to offer... im not saying that chronic from other states are wack.. cuz im sure there is good weed anywhere ..i jus never smoked it.. but from cats i know From L.A (hardcore growers)that go to the dam ..say that we can put the pepsi chanllenge with that dutch weed anytime.. lol
